...[1]Iam surprised not to have had a single letter from you. It is essential
for us to correspond more regularly and especially for you to write more
often. “Paris will run to seed,” everybody used to say. This is now your
responsibility, in other words, you must not allow that to happen. Get the
people together at least once a week, talk to them, organise them, see
Alexei daily and put some spirit into the group through him. You cannot
“abandon your own” to the mercy of fate. It will not do to disorganise
what has been (so far) the main centre. Remember, then, this is your
responsibility!! Convene the Committee of the Organisations Abroad, instil
new energy into it; while in Leipzig I heard complaints that the
C.O.A. (unlike the
			      C.B.G.A.[2])

was doing nothing. And it is expected to supply leaflets (allthose put out in Paris), bulletins, letters.... Attend to this....

Allthe best,Yours,Lenin
